Envoy: Cultural diplomacy key to elevating Iran-M’sia ties


KUALA LUMPUR: Iranian ambassador to Malaysia Ali Asghar Mohammadi emphasised the importance of cultural diplomacy to foster mutual understanding and elevate Iran-Malaysia bilateral relations. He said both countries had many things to offer, adding that Putrajaya and Isfahan (central Iran) were “twin cities” that should be promoted to the people of both countries.

The design of the Putra Bridge, one of the notable bridges in Putrajaya linking Dataran Putra with Persiaran Perdana, was inspired by the famous Khaju Bridge in Isfahan.
